I tried to add AVC-Intra 100 output profiles
by Andrew Randrianasulu 08 May '25

08 May '25

But not sure if I did this correctly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVC-Intra says for AVC-Intra 100: AVC-Intra 100: nominally 100 Mbit/s, size of each frame is fixed CAVLC entropy coding only. All formats are High 4:2:2 Intra Profile, Level 4.1 4:2:2 chrominance sampling frames are not scaled and yeah, this French-language pdf actually says the same: https://web.archive.org/web/20110720215759/http://www.ficam.fr/upload/docum… 50M 100M Standard MPEG-4 part10 AVC/H.264 Profile High 10 Intra High 4:2:2 Intra Level Level 3.2/4.0 Level 4.1 Resolution 1440x1080 / 960x720 1920x1080 / 1280x720 Sampling 4:2:0 4:2:2 Bit rate 54Mbps 111Mbps Block size Y: 8x8, C: 4x4 Intra Prediction Y: 9mode, C: 4mode MBAFF Yes De-block filter No Slice/frame 10 Entropy coding CABAC CAVLC so, I looked up ffmpeg cmd line https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/3597 ffmpeg -v info -i /mnt-data/backup4/vol0/export/CUHK\ 2014-1/V017b.mov -vcodec libx264 -intra -pix_fmt yuv422p10le -vb 100M -x264opts avcintra-class=100 -x264opts colorprim=bt709 -x264opts transfer=bt709 -x264opts colormatrix=bt709 -threads 4 -acodec copy V017b-ffmpeg-git-avcintra100.mov Huh, said I and entered those params in opts file, actually in two files (mp4 and mov containers) mov libx264 cin_pix_fmt=yuv422p10le flags -global_header keyint_min=0 x264-params=keyint=0:colorprim=bt709:transfer=bt709:colormatrix=bt709 avcintra-class=100 bufsize=100000000 level=4.1 mp4 libx264 cin_pix_fmt=yuv422p10le flags -global_header keyint_min=0 x264-params=keyint=0:colorprim=bt709:transfer=bt709:colormatrix=bt709 avcintra-class=100 bufsize=100000000 level=4.1 both for progressive content, for interlace you must add some more flags: https://lists.ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-user/2017-January/035049.html -flags +ildct+ilme -x264opts interlaced=1 Also, there is still lack of (GUI) user notification if file writing failed due to NO SPACE on device :} FFStream::write_packet: write packet failed. file:/dev/shm/avci_new.mp4 err: На устройстве не осталось свободного места FFStream::encode_frame: encode failed. file: /dev/shm/avci_new.mp4 err: На устройстве не осталось свободного места FFStream::flush failed :file:/dev/shm/avci_new.mp4 err: Операция не позволена Render::render_single: Session finished. ** rendered 273 frames in 85.585 secs, 3.190 fps Render::render_single: Session finished. ** rendered 273 frames in 85.485 secs, 3.194 fps Render::render_single: Session finished. ** rendered 273 frames in 82.176 secs, 3.322 fps Profile sort of assumes you set project to some supported resolution, framerate, etc, otherwise libx264 will fail with console error message..... I found some talk about AVC-Ultra, there even was patch for x264, but it was not merged: https://mailman.videolan.org/pipermail/x264-devel/2015-September/011412.html Also, I think sound must be uncompressed, but I'm not sure.

Re: [Cin] cinelerra-gg on ppc64el
by Daniel Reurich 02 Apr '22

02 Apr '22

Hi I've made some significant progress in getting the build going - and will have some patches to drop that solve some issues for builds using system libs and non x86 based archs. The current issue I'm stumbling on is that configure doesn't detect the systems liba52 and a52dec/a52.h header files as installed. This results in a linking failure during the build of libzmpeg Any thoughts on how I might overcome that? Thanks, Daniel. -- Daniel Reurich Centurion Computer Technology (2005) Ltd. 021 797 722

CinGG AppImage
by Andrea paz 02 Mar '21

02 Mar '21

Hi, I was wondering if it's time to put appimage as the main installation method of CinGG, highlighting it in the website and the manual. The binaries remain working but not updated. What do you guys think?

bcast
by Andrea paz 28 Feb '21

28 Feb '21

I installed CinGG from git with a .bcast5 put in /home/paz/.bcast5 on internal NVME; plus I have the appimage I set as /home/store/.bcast6 on internal SSD. But it doesn't work: the two instances take the same .bcastX. If I set the built CinGG's .bcast5 the appimage also sees that .bcast5; if I set .bcast6 for the appimage the built also switches to that. Does this happen to you as well?

There must be some artificial picture clearly showing if I did it wrong ..Not found it yet.

Backup in CinGG
by Andrea paz 11 Feb '21

11 Feb '21

I was thinking of adding a section in the manual about how backup works in CinGG. Please correct me if I am wrong: if I don't enable the new option (default), a backup is created at each editing action (see below the list of actions suggested by Andràs) but this overwrites the previous backup.prev so in .bcast5 there will be only one backup file (plus backup.xml whose function I don't understand). The same when we manually create a backup via File --> save backup. When we make a File --> Load backup, in addition to bring on the timeline the backup.prev we also create a new backup.prev. If I enable "Autosaves continuous backups" the backup.prev file is not overwritten, but a new backup.prev_xxxxxxxx_xxxxxx (with data and clock time) is created. These are small files so their number is not a problem. In any case when you exit CinGG the various backups are deleted except for the last 50, which will still be available at the next restart. The new option is put in Settings --> Preferences --> Appearance Tab under the Dangerous section because if you have a crash or anyway you don't exit CinGG correctly, the delete phase doesn't happen and the risk is the increase of the backup files inside .bcast5 but, as said, their size is very small and so not a big problem. With this option enabled, how does File --> save/load backup work? Is there anything I didn't understand? Is there anything to add? There are a few parts where save_backup() is called (Reuss Andràs): cinelerra/cwindowgui.C:2 cinelerra/swindow.C:1 cinelerra/keyframepopup.C:2 cinelerra/pluginpopup.C:1 cinelerra/mwindowedit.C:87 cinelerra/presetsgui.C.sav1:1 cinelerra/assetpopup.C:1 cinelerra/cwindowtool.C:1 cinelerra/render.C:1 cinelerra/setformat.C:1 cinelerra/mwindow.C:9 cinelerra/keyframegui.C:2 cinelerra/mwindowgui.C:1 cinelerra/mainmenu.C:1 cinelerra/loadfile.C:2 cinelerra/savefile.C:2 cinelerra/menueffects.C:1 cinelerra/main.C:1 cinelerra/presetsgui.C.sav:1 cinelerra/record.C:1 cinelerra/plugindialog.C:1
